Indian coach Gautam Gambhir in 2022 slammed the then BCCI president Saurabh Ganguly for promoting fantasy league games. In his own words If BCCI President is endorsing fantasy leagues, you can’t expect players not to do it. Gambhir had remarked that he was always against people endorsing alcohol, tobacco, and online betting.
He stated, “No one should be allowed to endorse that.” Fast forward to March 9, 2025, amid the ongoing India vs. New Zealand’s summit clash in the Champions Trophy 2025.
Gambhir, the current India coach, tweeted a promo post for Real11 stating, Kya RO-KO ki jodi Bharat ko ek aur Champions ODI trophy jeeta paayegi? Real11 par trade karo. Aise hi aur sawalo ke jawab Yes/No mein do aur dheero inaam jeeto! (Will India bag yet another Champions ODI trophy on the partnership of RO-KO*? Trade on Real11 and answer similar simple questions to win truck loads of prizes.) The graphics appended with the promoted post claimed, “ Give your opinion and win up to Rs 1 crore!” Kya RO-KO ki jodi Bharat🇮🇳 ko ek aur Champions ODI trophy jeeta paayegi?🤔 Real11 par Trade karo.
